Sheng An Ning was a little annoyed. They were suffering downstairs as there was a quarrel upstairs.
Zhou Hongyun brought the meal to Sheng An Ning, and sighed: "I also saw the old lady upstairs today. She looks powerful, but Leng Jie is also powerful. It's not easy to live like this."
As soon as the words fell, Leng Jie was heard crying: "Lu Chaoran, if you really dare to do it, then divorce me!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of a door slamming, and someone came running downstairs.
Silence returned upstairs for a moment.
Sheng Anning rubbed his swollen temples and started eating.
Zhou Hongyun wiped the table and sighed, "How can they live like this? Lu Chaoran seemed quite sensible, but how could he beat his wife? The same thing happened to the old lady. Why did she interfere in the affairs between her son and his wife?"
Sheng Anning thought for a moment and told Zhou Hongyun, "Aunt, don't talk about their family affairs in the future, and don't talk to the old lady upstairs."
Zhou Hongyun nodded: "I know, she talked to me today and asked a lot of questions, such as our child's name and birthday, and when you and Shi Xun got married."
Sheng Anning frowned: "Did you tell her?"
Zhou Hongyun shook his head: "Of course not. How can you tell others about your child's birthday? I tell you, there are some things you have to believe."
Sheng An Ning was relieved: "That's good, just ignore it in the future."
As a result, the next day after Sheng An Ning went to work, Zhou Hongyun sent the child back. Old Mrs. Lu was waiting at the door. She looked at Zhou Hongyun and smiled: "Sister, you sent the child back? You are so lucky. You pick up the child every day and you are not in a hurry at all."
Zhou Hongyun smiled, stood at the door with a basket on his arm, and chatted with the old lady: "Besides picking up and dropping off the kids, I can't do much else. I'll be busy doing laundry soon."
Old Mrs. Lu sighed, "That's good too. This way I have something to do. I didn't know anyone when I first arrived, and I didn't have any children at home. They all went to work, and I was alone at home, facing an empty house, with no one to talk to."
"Here, it's not like our countryside, where every household knows each other, and when it's cold we can visit and chat. It's quite lively. I see that in this building, we are the only two people of similar age. I was thinking of chatting with you, do you mind going to your house to chat?"
Zhou Hongyun didn't say yes or no, but she didn't mean to open the door either: "I've been so busy all day that I haven't had time to rest. I still have a lot of things to do today. I'll chat with you later when I have time."
Mrs. Lu narrowed her eyes. She didn’t expect that she didn’t even get through the door, but she was still not discouraged: “You have many children in your family. Do you have any unwanted small clothes that you can give me?”
Zhou Hongyun was very surprised: "You don't have any children at home, why do you need children's clothes?"
Mrs. Lu was a little embarrassed: "My son just doesn't have a child. I thought of taking a small piece of clothing back and putting it under their pillows. Maybe it would attract a child. I saw it on the windowsill. Your child will be so cute when he grows up."
Zhou Hongyun was not happy. No matter how cute or good-looking her child was, it was still hers. How could she introduce a child to someone else's family?
Without even a second thought, she refused: "No, my clothes need to be kept for my second nephew's household expenses. His child is about to be born."
After being rejected, Mrs. Lu was not angry. She even said a series of congratulations. Finally, when she saw that Zhou Hongyun still had no intention of letting her in, she had to go back upstairs.
Zhou Hongyun was carrying a basket of vegetables and watched the old lady go upstairs. When he heard the door open upstairs, he opened the door and went in.
After entering the house and thinking about it again and again, he always felt that this old lady was very weird. He quickly went to check if there were any children's clothes drying outside. He decided to tell Sheng An Ning not to dry children's clothes outside in the future.
Some elderly people in rural areas do bad things, such as stealing children's clothes.
Especially if there are no children in the family.
…
In the evening, Lu Chaoran returned home exhausted. He and Leng Jie had a quarrel and he beat Leng Jie, which had already been known by his unit.
The unit also talked to him and asked him to maintain good family relationships and not let his work be affected by his family.
When he entered the door, he was still thinking about persuading his mother not to confront Leng Jie anymore. He also went to Leng Jie's unit to beg her to come back so that the family could live a good life.
Before I had time to speak as soon as I entered the door, Mrs. Lu started nagging: "Chaoran, you're back? I'm telling you, you can't go and beg Leng Jie to come back. If you're a man, you should let him come back on his own."
Lu Chaoran was helpless: "Mom, don't worry about what happens between Leng Jie and me. You are not in poor health, so just focus on recuperating. We can handle the matter between Leng Jie and me ourselves. Don't quarrel with Leng Jie in the future."
Mrs. Lu stared at her son: "What do you mean by that? Do you think I quarreled with Leng Jie on purpose? Tell me yourself, which daughter-in-law is like this? Can't even cook a meal for her mother-in-law?"
After that, he ignored Lu Chaoran and continued, "Do you want to have a child? I have a good idea. As long as you listen to me, I will definitely make you a father next year."
Lu Chaoran was very tired and didn't want to talk. As for children, he wanted one, but Leng Jie couldn't have children. He had come to terms with it and decided not to divorce, remarry, and have another child.
Moreover, he really liked Leng Jie. Coming from the countryside, it was an honor for him to be favored by a city girl.
Not to mention that Leng Jie's family was also very helpful to his work. Without Leng Jie's family's help, he wouldn't be where he is today.
Last night, he lost his mind and couldn't help but take action.
He regretted it as soon as he made the move. Now, hearing his mother say these things again, he was so tired that he couldn't hold back his emotions: "Mom, can you stop talking about children in the future? Children, children, Leng Jie and I don't want children in this life, and I don't want children either. If you do this again, I will send you back."
Mrs. Lu stared at her son, a little bit unbelieving that he would actually say such a thing: "What did you say? You want to send me back? Chaoran, I'm not doing this for you. Look at the young wife downstairs, she can give birth to three children, do you think she is lucky?"
"I've told you that I know things you don't know, but you don't believe me. Let me tell you this, the three children of the young wife downstairs are here to repay their gratitude. They shouldn't have come three at once."
"What's wrong with us stealing a child from her? As long as we get one, you'll have a child, and you won't divorce Leng Jie. Isn't that great?"
Lu Chaoran was shocked. He never thought that his mother would actually have the idea of going downstairs. He widened his eyes in fear and said, "Mom, what are you thinking? You are going to steal someone else's child. Do Leng Jie and I still have our jobs? And how did you steal? Stealing a child is illegal. Do you know that?"
